Exfoliating & Clarifying UltraMUD - Enhanced with salicylic, tea tree, glycolic, mandelic, and azelaic

Salicylic acid, a Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA) is oil-soluble which makes it ideal for the acne-prone. It reduces oiliness and pore build-up since it is able to penetrate through the oil unlike its AHA counterpart. This aids in reducing sebaceous follicle blockage to help reduce the occurrence of future breakouts. | Glycolic acid is an AHA that is best for improving texture and reducing the appearance of lines. Derived from sugar cane, glycolic acid’s anti-aging benefits come from its small molecular size that can deeply penetrate the skin. It’s useful for a host of skin conditions from pigmentation issues, uneven texture, acne scarring, and wrinkles and fine lines. | Mandelic acid helps treat a wide range of issues from acne, scarring, fine lines and wrinkles. Because it has a larger molecular size compared to other AHAs, it is able to gently exfoliate the skin with less chance of post-peel inflammation or hyperpigmentation. | Azelaic acid is naturally found in grains like rye, wheat, and barley. It is a dicarboxylic acid and is especially good at evening out pigmentation and improving skin tone. It blocks keratin production which can help lessen the occurence of clogged pores and help reduce breakouts. | Tea tree oil has been proven effective in reducing acne bacteria and is a natural alternative to benzoyl peroxide. It is an essential oil extracted from the leaves of the Melaleuca Alternifolia tree native to Australia.
